Heremaia 25

1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia mo te iwi katoa o Hura i te wha o nga tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura; ko te tau tuatahi tera o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona;

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),

2 I korerotia taua mea e Heremaia, e te poropiti, ki te iwi katoa o Hura, ki nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama; i ki ia,

which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

3 No te tekau ma toru o nga tau o Hohia tama a Amono kingi o Hura, a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, ka rua tekau ma toru enei nga tau, te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, me taku korero ano ki a koutou, moata ai i te ata a ka korero; heoi kihai kou tou i rongo.

From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of Jehovah has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking. But ye have not hearkened.

4 Na kua unga e Ihowa ana pononga katoa, nga poropiti ki a koutou, moata ai i nga ata a ka unga i a ratou; heoi kihai koutou i rongo, kihai ano o koutou taringa i anga ki te whakarongo;

And Jehovah has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear),

5 I mea ratou, Tahuri mai koutou, e tera, e tera i tona ara kino, i te kino hoki o a koutou mahi, a e noho ki te oneone i homai e Ihowa ki a koutou ko o koutou matua, onamata a ake ake.

saying, Return ye now each one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore.

6 Kaua hoki e whaia he atua ke, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, kaua e koropiko ki a ratou, kaua hoki ahau e whakapataritaria ki te mahi a o koutou ringa; a e kore koutou e he i ahau.

And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands. And I will do you no hurt.

7 Heoi kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa; he mea kia whakapataritaria ai ahau ki te mahi a o koutou ringa, hei he ano mo koutou.

Yet ye have not hearkened to me, says Jehovah, that ye may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.

8 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Na kihai na koutou i rongo ki aku kupu,

Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not heard my words,

9 Nana, ka unga tangata ahau ki te tiki i nga hapu katoa o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka unga tangata ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka kawea mai ratou ki tenei whenua, ki ona tangata hoki, a ki nga iwi katoa nei a tawhio noa; ka tino whakangaromia ratou e ahau, ka meinga hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga atu, hei ururua tuturu.

behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Jehovah, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all these nations round about. And I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

10 Ka tangohia atu hoki e ahau i a ratou te reo o te koa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tane marena hou, te reo o te wahine marena hou, te haruru o nga kohatu mira, te marama hoki o te rama.

Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.

11 A ka waiho tenei whenua katoa hei ururua, hei keteketenga; a ka mahi enei iwi ki te kingi o Papurona, e whitu tekau tau.

And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment. And these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 A ka rite nga tau e whitu tekau, ka whiua e ahau te kingi o Papurona me taua iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, mo to ratou kino, me te whenua hoki o nga Karari; ka meinga a reira e ahau kia ururua a ake ake.

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Jehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it desolate forever.

13 Ka kawea hoki e ahau ki runga ki taua whenua aku kupu katoa i korerotia e ahau mo reira, nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka, kua poropititia nei e Heremaia mo aua iwi katoa.

And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

14 Ka whakamahia hoki ratou, ae ra, ratou e nga iwi maha, e nga kingi nunui hoki: a ka rite ki a ratou hanga, ki te mahi hoki a o ratou ringa taku utu ki a ratou.

For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them, even of them, and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

15 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua, o Iharaira ki ahau, Tangohia te kapu waina o tenei riri i toku ringa, whakainumia ma nga iwi katoa ka unga nei koe e ahau ki a ratou.

For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

16 A ka inu ratou, hurori atu, hurori mai, ka haurangi, i te hoari e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a ratou.

And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

17 Katahi ahau ka tango i te kapu i te ringa o Ihowa, whakainumia ana ma nga iwi katoa i unga nei ahau e Ihowa ki a ratou:

Then I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me:

18 Ara ma Hiruharama, ma nga pa o Hura, ma ona kingi, a ma ona rangatira, kia meinga ai ratou hei ururua, hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga, hei kanga; hei penei me to tenei ra;

Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings of it, and the rulers of it, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day,

19 Ma Parao kingi o Ihipa, ratou ko ana tangata, ko ana rangatira, ko tona iwi katoa;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his rulers, and all his people,

20 Ma nga iwi i whakaranua, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o Uhu, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ma Ahakarono, ma Kaha, ma Ekerono, ma nga morehu ano o Aharoro:

and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

21 Ma Eroma, ma Moapa, ma nga tama a Amona;

Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,

22 Ma nga kingi katoa o Taira, ma nga kingi katoa o Hairona, ma nga kingi o te motu i tera taha o te moana;

and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea,

23 Ma Rerana, ma Tema, ma Putu, ma te hunga katoa e tapahia ana nga tapa o o ratou makawe;

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off,

24 Ma nga kingi katoa o Arapia, ma nga kingi katoa o te iwi i whakaranua, e noho ana i te koraha;

and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness,

25 Ma nga kingi katoa o Timiri, ma nga kingi katoa o Erama, ma nga kingi katoa o nga Meri.

and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

26 Ma nga kingi katoa o te raki, ma nga mea e tata ana, ma nga mea i tawhiti, ma tetahi, ma tetahi; ma nga kingitanga katoa hoki o te ao, i te mata o te oneone: a ka inu te kingi o Hehaka i muri i a ratou.

and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth. And the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

27 Me ki ano e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; E inu koutou, a haurangi iho, ruaki, e hinga ki raro, kaua e ara mai ano ki runga, i te hoari hoki e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a koutou.

And thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

28 Na, ki te kore ratou e pai ki te tango i te kapu i roto i tou ringa kia inumia, katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Me inu rawa nei e koutou.

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall surely drink.

29 No te mea, nana, ka timata ahau ki te whakatupu kino i te pa i huaina nei toku ingoa mo reira: a kia tukua koutou kia kahore rawa e whiua? E kore ra koutou e kore te whiua: no te mea ka karangatia e ahau he hoari ki runga ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished. For I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says Jehovah of hosts.

30 Mo reira me poropiti e koe enei kupu katoa ki a ratou, mea atu ki a ratou, Ka hamama mai a Ihowa i te wahi tiketike, ka puaki mai tona reo i tona kainga tapu; ka tino nui tana hamama ki tana taiepa hipi; ka umere ia, ka pera i ta nga kaitakahi k arepe, ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua.

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say to them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 Ka paku te ngangau ki te pito ra ano o te whenua; no te mea he totohe ta Ihowa ki nga iwi, ka whakawakia e ia nga kikokiko katoa; ko te hunga kino, ka tukua e ia ki te hoari, e ai ta Ihowa.

A noise shall come even to the end of the earth, for Jehovah has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, says Jehovah.

32 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka puta atu he kino i tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, a ka whakatututia he tukauati nui i nga pito rawa o te whenua.

Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the outermost parts of the earth.

33 Na, ko nga tupapaku a Ihowa ka takoto i taua ra i tetahi pito o te whenua tae noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua: e kore hoki ratou e tangihia, e kore ano e kohikohia, e tanumia ranei; hei whakawairakau ratou ki te mata o te whenua.

And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, nor gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.

34 Aue, e nga hepara, hamama; okeoke i roto i te pungarehu, e nga metararahi o te kahui: kua tae mai hoki nga ra mo koutou kia patupatua, a ka tukitukia koutou e ahau mongamonga noa, a ka taka koutou ano he oko i matenuitia.

Wail, ye shepherds, and cry. And wallow, ye principal men of the flock. For the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel.

35 A ka kore he wahi hei rerenga mo nga hepara, kahore he mawhititanga mo nga metararahi o te kahui.

And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal men of the flock to escape.

36 He reo no te tangi o nga hepara, he aue no nga metararahi o te kahui! no te mea e pahuatia ana e Ihowa to ratou haerenga hipi.

A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal men of the flock! For Jehovah lays waste their pasture.

37 A ka meinga kia nohopuku nga nohoanga hipi humarie; no te mea ka mura te riri o Ihowa.

And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

38 Ka whakarerea e ia tona kuhunga, ka pera i te raiona; ka waiho hoki to ratou whenua hei miharotanga i te taikaha o te hoari tukino, i te muranga o tona riri.

He has left his covert as the lion. For their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword, and because of his fierce anger.
